Leaving behind the world of crime, she built a new life as an underground DJ by night and a professional hitwoman by necessity-taking out bad men for the secretive organization known as "The Pool."

And Kurenai knows he's close-too close. But even as the tension between them burns hotter, they are both trapped in a deadly game of secrets, violence, and desire.
